Use separate folders for regular TV Shows and Anime series

Open XellossMetallium opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, I don't know if I'm missing something, but here my issue: part of my library is composed by anime. When I use Quasar command "add to library" the show is added in a mixed folder along with western series and so on. Since the scraper for TV Shows is TVDB the title automatically chosen from anime is (as it should be) in english. A random example from a recent unlicensed title could be "Saga of Tanya the Evil". Problem is that Quasar use the title as keyword and, sadly, the only keyword that would be always recognized in the anime community would be the original (romanized) title, in this case "Youjo Senki". Quite different as you can see. Actually I can only think of two ways to work around this issue. One would be to allow the user to create a different subfolder when adding titles to library: being able to put western productions in "TV Shows" and anime in "Anime" would allow the user to chose a different dedicated scraper for anime (AnidbMod) and so the correct title for the show. This would be optimal (the same concept of Kodi). Another (probably easier) way would be to add a "change keyword" button after an unsatisfactory search. This would be the same of manually renaming each show, I think (didn't try that), just more intuitive.

I hope that my explanation is clear and, by the way, sorry for my english. Thanks.

Although the second idea sounds simpler, I like the first one better, but they're also not mutually exclusive. So those are two great propositions. We already have separate searchers for regular episodes and anime; it would only make sense to save strm files (and move completed downloads for that matter) to separate folders as well.

I'm glad you agree! I can't be of any help for programming but if you ever need some brainstorming about the user experience part I'll be happy to give my two cents. Thanks again and great work!
